Take a look at the classes we’ve offered in the past for inspiration.
Vashon Makerspace gift cards are an excellent way to support our community and give someone the chance to learn a new skill or sharpen an old one. Click here to find out more.
Right now we’re just a dream, monthly meetings and a mailing list. Want to be a part of it and/or learn more as we grow?
A place in which people with shared interests can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge. A makerspace may contain all kinds of tools, from electronics and computers to shop tools, and provides a workspace for individuals and groups in the community to come together, learn and build. Makerspaces exist all around the Puget Sound area and across the nation.
Constructed by a team of volunteers, and repurposing a substantial quantity of donated materials, this 600 sq. convertible workspace has hosted classes in hand woodworking, spoon carving, router techniques, and sewing /clothing repair. Our long-term goal is to expand from this modest start to a facility with multiple dedicated craft studios of 500 to 2500 square feet each.
Short-term woodworking classes of 1 – 3 sessions in length will be offered through the MakerSpace. More in depth multi-session classes will continue to be offered through the Vashon Center for the Arts (VCA) at the Vashon HS Woodshop, in cooperation with the Vashon School District and Vashon Park Department.
